Harrogate district to Clap for Heroes tonight
Will you take part at 8pm tonight? Clap for Carers started as a one-off on March 26 but proved so popular it continued for 10 weeks. Now it is being revived under the new name of Clap for Heroes.
People in the Harrogate district will step onto their doorsteps tonight to bang pans and clap their hands to show support for the heroes of the pandemic.
The weekly Clap for Carers that took place during the first lockdown is being revived under the new name of Clap for Heroes at 8pm.

Clap for Carers started as a one-off on March 26 but proved so popular it continued for 10 weeks.
In the Harrogate district, people not only stepped onto their doorsteps but many also turned up at care homes and hospitals to show their support directly.
This time around, with coronavirus infection rates rising rapidly, the organisers have reiterated a call to wear masks and keep a safe distance while clapping.
